Honestly, I don't get excited about a lot of things, but this thing is awesome! I got the blue color, and it reminds me of rain or a waterfall. The gold sparkles inside are fun too, reminds me of prospecting. My wife says it satisfies her crow brain too lol. There is a review video on here where a guy shows you how to remove/add air to it to make the sand flow better, watch that and you're good.Side note: it does come with a syringe; it needs it so you can adjust the air/water amount. Of course keep it out of reach of children. If you give it as a gift I would take the syringe out of the box first and then after they open the present I would help them adjust the air levels, and then I would keep the syringe somewhere safe.With that said, this is a great gift, it's calming yet interesting, and it lets the imagination run wild. 100% recommend this

I've always been fascinated by sand art, and particularly the dynamic kind. But I got jaded as a youth when products didn't work as expected. This was a fantastic buy (and one of the less expensive). The panels are glass -- which gives it heft, almost offsetting the cheap feel of the plastic base.The package comes with a syringe with which the user can add or remove air from the closed system. With simplistic pictures and few words, I couldn't make sense of it. So I was glad when I read that most arrive not needing any adjustment.The colors on this are fantastic. My blue has equal parts white and so is less rich and deep than the picture, but it still reminds me of the waves off an Oregon beach, the gold flecks mimicking the glint of fleeting sun.And it runs slowly, subtly. The small trickle(s) allow the sand to run for up to an hour. It is deeply relaxing to watch. Granted, sometimes it gets caught in equilibrium and needs a small tap or shock to get going again, but for the most part it just works.One thing I did not understand before is the importance of bubbles. I thought they were aesthetic rubbish, something to be avoided (or signs of poor manufacturing). I've found that the bubbles are necessary to create weak points in the above/below horizon, allowing sand to slip through -- keeping the balance ever-changing.One of my best purchases of late.

Sand moved so-so. Read that it takes a while. Giving this as a gift and will update if issues. This item came with a needle syringe which was confusing and possibly dangerous for small children.

Very cool item. Somewhat mesmerizing to watch the sand fall. They are a bit tricky to get the right air level in the sphere. Bought three of these for grandchildren. They love them.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Relaxation & the quality very nice, will be ordering more in the future!

There is too much air in the glass for the sand to move freely and completely

I didn't like it straight out of the box but after five minutes fiddling with it I was hooked. Bought it for my daughter's birthday but it never made it to her room. The family hijacked it and it stays in our kitchen to be constantly changed. It's not perfect quality but it's held up to a family of five for almost five months.

This product is way better than I expected. Purchased it as a "backup" Christmas gift, but ended up keeping it for myself. I have been amazed...I have used this perhaps 50 times since Christmas. I turn it over at least 1x per day. I expected the different colored sand to blend together over time, but they did not. There is still significant color striation even after the sand has been mixed over 50 times. I also expected that the way the sand drops to the bottom would decline over time, but it continues to have just a small stream or two, making the "mountain" effect.My particular item looks exactly like the picture in the product listing, even after having been used many many times. Amazing.The only small nitpicky thing that isn't perfect is the base. It's an inexpensive "hollow" plastic base. I suspect that is to keep the price-point reasonable, but it isn't of the same quality as the sand sculpture is.So I have been delighted that this exceeded my initial expectations.
